STERLING PROPERTY (1434 E. COMMERCE AND 323 IDAHO)
Phase I Environmental Site Assessment
• Pools of Liquid: No pools of liquid were observed on the subject site or
within the vicinity of the subject site during the site visit. A basement
structure at the eastern end of the commercial structure was flooded at the
time of the site visits. Rotting wooden steps leading into the basement were
unsafe to allow access.
• Drums: No drums were observed on the subject site or within the surrounding
vicinity.
• Containers (Hazardous or Non-Hazardous): No containers were observed
on the subject site or within the surrounding vicinity.
• PCBs (Electrical Transformers): One (1) pole-mounted transformer was
observed adjacent east of the subject site along the east-central property line
of the site. No stained areas, stressed vegetation or other signs of a leaking
transformer were observed during the site visit. However, CPS Energy was
contacted for the potential of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) being used in
the electrical equipment serving the subject property. The following CPS
Energy statement is provided for information and use as appropriate.
"In January 1986, CPS Energy initiated a program to remove from
the CPS Energy distribution system all known "PCB
transformers," defined as transformers containing greater than or
equal to 500 parts per million ("ppm") polychlorinated biphenyl
("PCBs"). The term "known" refers to transformers and other
equipment that either were labeled to contain greater than or equal
to 500 ppm PCBs or, in the judgment of the engineer or field
representative, were believed could reasonably have contained
PCBs at concentrations greater than or equal to 500 ppm. This
program has resulted in the removal of "known" PCB transformers
within the CPS Energy customer distribution network.
